I picked a random Orly- from the 2007 Hot Stuff collection for Mainstream Mani Monday- Blue Collar.It’s quite a lovely blue! I did only 2 coats of this. Though I’m turning into a habitual 3 coater, I do stop at 2 when it’s obvious a polish doesn’t need it, lol. It was a super easy… Read More Mainstream Mani Monday- Orly Blue Collar
This is a pretty blurple multichrome with flakies from Illyrian Polish. I can’t for the life of me remember when I got this, but it’s in the older bottle style, lol. It’s good at 2 coats. The formula was easy to work with, nothing I remember that was hard to work with. You can see… Read More Try Another Thursday – on a Friday – Illyrian Polish Prototype 35

This is such a pretty polish! It was a custom by Supernatural Lacquer for the Rainbows and Unicorn Pee Facebook group in April (2019) called Narwhalways and Forever, isn’t that so cute! A beautiful polish!

I don’t have a lot of Essie polishes, but I decided to pull this out to try, and it’s beautiful! It’s a periwinkle- like a deep periwinkle- cream polish with a really easy formula.

Okay, so I’d ordered from Pretty Serious Cosmetics when they had their issues last year (I’d ordered from them lots before, their polish, And Uzi from Daddy, is one of my faves), then ended up cancelling and getting my money back. So when I got an email that they were back and everything was 50%… Read More Nail Mail- Huge Pretty Serious Haul!
